Little Lamb Little Lamb - Lyrics

Little Lamb little lamb looks like spring came back around
On the hillside you’re jumping up and down
Lifts my heart up to see you scamper once again
You wouldn’t understand little lamb little lamb

The winter’s long, it’s gets so dark and cold
It reminds me how I keep on getting old
I was young once, I won’t be young again
You wouldn’t understand little lamb little lamb

It’s just like magic how the seasons come and go
Reassures me in a way you’ll never know
Living and dying walk along hand in hand
You wouldn’t understand little lamb little lamb

Little Lamb little lamb looks like spring came back around
On the hillside you’re jumping up and down
Lifts my heart up to see you scamper once again
You wouldn’t understand little lamb little lamb

Sheep dog watching keeping you in line
Your mama too, she sees you’re doing fine
A year will go by, this’ll happen once again
You wouldn’t understand little lamb little lamb

Little Lamb, little lamb looks like spring came back around
On the hillside you’re jumping up and down
Lifts my heart up to see you scamper once again
You wouldn’t understand little lamb little lamb
